9 UNIVERSITÄT SALZBURG Geschichte Die Alma Mater Paridiana wurde 1622 von Fürsterzbischof Paris Lodron feierlich eröffnet. Ihr Träger war eine Konföderation von 33 Benediktinerabteien aus Süddeutschland, Österreich, der Schweiz und Salzburg. Die Universität existierte bis zum Jahre 1810, als Salzburg an Bayern angegliedert wurde. Seit ihrer Wiedergründung 1962 hat sich die Universität Salzburg zu einer modernen, lebendigen Universität entwickelt. Als Altstadt- und Campusuniversität ist sie in das kulturelle und wirtschaftliche Leben Salzburgs eingebunden.

The University was maintained by a confederation of 33 Benedictine Abbeys from Southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Salzburg until its dissolution in 1810, when Salzburg was annexed by Bavaria. Since its reconstitution in 1962, the University of Salzburg has developed into a modern, lively university. Partly located in the Old City Centre and partly in the modern campus near the river Salzach, the University plays a major role in both the cultural and business lives of Salzburg. It has the advantage of being a university on a human scale and serves as a meeting place for teaching staff, students, academia and the general public.
